  Speaker 1: just sex with the lights off, you know, yeah, because
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: it's just you know, I like, at least I get

  Speaker 1: then the lights go on and you're like yeah, because
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I'm one of those guys, like you know, you know,
• 2:00

• 2:03
  Speaker 1: But then I take my shirt off, my titskull like this,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: you know, like I always have a crumb in my
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: belly button. My dick has a couple of warts on it,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and it's just one of those things where you get
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: them hooked, they fall in love, and then they just
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: start to see pass. Are you circumcised? Fully sir? Okay? Yeah.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: One of my camera guys yesterday was telling us, which
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: sounds like a name for a cock he's got. He's like,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: we're all talking about like how we were somehow we
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: were in a van in New York talking about our dicks.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: It happens and I was like, yeah, I'm two out
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of the four people were not circumcised. And I was like,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: that's fucking gross, right, And then I was like, yeah, no,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I'm circumcised, but I'm like seventy five percent circumcised. Okay,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: what does that mean? He said that, like they cut
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: his dick and then they like reattached a part of
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the skin, and then he started to pull up my
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: pictures of other dicks that look like his, dick, and
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I was like, Bro, that's a rough fucking go for
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a young lady that's got a look at that mutilated
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: fucking meat finger down there. Honestly, even when I'm watching porn,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how hot the girl is. If the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: guys uncircumcised, I'm like, gross, can't do it? Next video?
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: What percentage of gay does it make me that I
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: have to have a nice dick in the video. Here's
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the thing, here's what I'm about to tell you right now.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Back by science. I just watched this was maybe a
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: few months ago. I just watched a neuroscientist talk about
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that men straight men ninety nine percent of the time
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: will fast forward or go to the next porn video
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: if the man's penis isn't big, because what excites a man.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: A man's sexual part of the brain are tits and
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: a dick. That's what it wants. It wants the big
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: breaths and a big dick because the subcont the little
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: dick subconsciously makes the man feel insecure because they start
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to think about their own size and it takes them
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: out of it. They want big, big, huge dick with
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: big boobs. So hypothetically, the straight man and would have
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the highest climax off of transgender shemail porn. That's the neuroscientist.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: That's the neuroscientist that I hired. Give give that lecture. No,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: that's a neuroscientist that was backed by science, dude, So
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it's weird you bring that up that way. Wait wait,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: so hypothetically a straight this is this is real, this
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: is backed by science. This. I saw a Ted talk
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: of a guy I was also an event of my friends,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and I was like, let's look up Ted talks on
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: that can verify that we're not gay because we like
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: she mails. So we looked into it and this is true.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: You can YouTube this. It literally. The science has said
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: they did a whole study, you know, in Sweden or
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: one of those crazy freaky tee countries where they were
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: like that men got most excited by a big penis
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and a big pair of boobs because that in the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: core of the brain, you want the big boobs, obviously,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you want you know, we know why and and do
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: you know why actually big boobs, why we're why we're
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: attracted to big boobs and a big But do you
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: know the scientific reason for that? I don't. I didn't
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: know there was one. I enjoy nice big breasts, but
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I would probably fancy myself and ask guy, But you
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: know I like both. Okay, here's what it is. So
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the reason why you even ask. The reason why scientists
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: say you like men, we like big boobs and a
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: big butt, white hips is the boobs one is because
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: what we're subconsciously Neanderthal brain seeing baby has milk. Our
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: babies will have milk to feed off. Big breast, right
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and comfortable pillow to lay on now now, But hips,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: why birthing canal gives us subconstantly our chance, our baby's chances,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the best chance of survival. So we associate the butt
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: with the hips. That's the reason why. And that's also
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the reason why women like this all makes sense big guys,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: why they like attract to a taller guys because in
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: her brandy, she's saying he can guard me from animals.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: We can go out and hunt, he can go out
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and hunt. And that's also why men are attracted to
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: more physical attributes and beauty and women aren't because what
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: a woman needs is a man who's all they really
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: care about is if they're smarter enough. Because you have
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to again we live in a different world now, but
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: this is neanderthal brain that we still have, you know,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: are connected to the man's has to be smarter. That's
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: why they're less about physical qualities, because you have to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: be cunning to go out and hunt and find food
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: and perspect right where the woman is not going out
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and doing it. So we don't care if she's smarter enough.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: We just say them big old tit as for our
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: baby's breast milk and the big cock and a big
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: cock and a nice and a nice, nice wide burthen canal.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: That's what it is. If Kim Kardashian had a cock,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I'd be in have you seen? Have you seen? My
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: wife follows this makeup artist, Nikita Dragon's she's an Asian uh,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: makeup influencer, but she's she's trans right, okay, but like
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: fucking smoking okay, but it's like it's almost like crazy. Yes,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you know what I did? Actually, my girl told me
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to look into Nikita Dragon, and I did, and we
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: reached out to do her podcast or if I could
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: go on her so she'd come to mind and she
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I believe her reps just sent a one word answer,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: which was no, I'm almost that's where I know her
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: hard no, hard no, And I'm like, well, I'm still
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: jerking off to you, so can't stop me from doing that. Yeah.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I always tell my friends. I'm like, yo, I can't
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: watch lesbian poorn. No, there's nothing in lesbian porn for me. Nothing.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: There's nothing because I like to at least feel like
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I'm the dude that's you know, fucking yes. Yeah, and
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I almost I try to come my come time. I
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: come shot with the guys. Come shot. Yes, yes, yeah,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: that's the strategy. That's why I like. And I also
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: like an up close and personal blowjop. I like a blowjob.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I don't like, you know, if you're eating a girl,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I don't care. Nobody wants to see a guy you
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: a chick out. Let me see your wet cock. Dude.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: How many people you think turn this podcast off for
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the to get the goal? Especially my audience, they're like, yo,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: what the fuck? Hey yo, yo, he sucks that boss, boss,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: your man's wild sucks. Oh man, Well welcome, thank you.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: That was a great way to kick things off there.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: It is for people who don't know you, how did
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: you cause did you kind of give us kind of
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: a Rundown on how you kind of started to get
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: your buzz going in the in the comedy scene. Was
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: it the Opie and Anthony Show. Opie and Anthony was
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: definitely big for me. I started stand up in two
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: thousand and nine, twenty ten, okay, And then you know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: it's interesting like I went that route of you know,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I got on Guy Code, Code and Girl Code, which
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: was was big, like big show by the way, Scholes
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: was on there as well, Charlemagne, Broh Schultz, Charlemagne. Ah gosh,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: there's like so many people that came from that. Yeah,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: man Aquafina, Like all these people came out of it,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Nicole Bayer and there's like literally, if you look, it's
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: like wild little Duvall, You're like, all these people are
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: on Guy Coding, Girl Code and really nobody the biggest
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: one with Charlotmagne, Charlemagne and Duval were you know, pretty
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: pretty famous. But by of course, other than that, nobody
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: really had a career. It was like all our starting
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: off points Pete Davidson. So it's like, you know, we
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: did that show and that listen. That definitely got us
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to a point, got us in the clubs, got us know,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: But it still didn't get you to like you still
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: weren't like we weren't. None of us were really selling
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: tickets or or you know, on the road, because that's
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: really the barometer of a comic. You could be on
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: this TV show, on that TV show and do that,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: but can you sell tickets? But because selling tickets is
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: it's not only it's not only to other comics, but
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: also just it's a world thing. It's like there's no
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: smoking mirrors with tickets sales. There's a lot of smoking
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: mirrors with television. You could be on a hit, Oh
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I got a CBS show, I got this Shawman. No,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: it gives you. But guess what, nobody knows who you are. Nobody,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: nobody cares to purchase the ticket. But there's no because
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: because you could make you know, the New York poster
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: whomever could write an article about anyone saying that the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: next big whatever, and it's like, it's bullshit. If no
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: one's at your shows, that if the people come, and
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: that's how you know, So the people really weren't coming
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: until really I started to do podcasting and the internet,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: and I had to kind of fail uh in television
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: to learn that because I had. I had my daughter
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: seven now, she was about six months old at the time.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I had a sitcom with CBS, a pilot film, the
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: whole thing. You know. I met Dulp people at Chaz
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: commentary from Bronxtail. Uh. He played my father and the
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: show Diane Guerrero played my love interest from Orange Is
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the New Black and and a bunch of other stuff
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and uh. And then I thought I was gonna be
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you know, the next Ray Romano or the CBS was
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: telling me You're gonna be this and that, and then
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the show didn't go, just failed, did not did not go.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I spent a year in my life put everything I
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: had into it was going back and forth to La,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: time away from my family, and then you know, missed
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: moments with my daughter's life. And I was like, well,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: but this will be good. We'll move to LA because
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I was following this you know route of the print. Yeah,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Night Seinfeld, ninth Bill Cosby, all these guys, and and
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: it didn't go. And I said, well, shit, now I
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: got a daughter, a young daughter, you know that, I
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: have a life here. I got a girl, I had
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: a step son. I was like, I need to make money,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: so I said, I made a deal with myself. When
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: it didn't go I said, I said, I'm not going
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: to allow myself ever again in my career to not
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: be in control. I'm never going to put my fate
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: of my career in my family, someone else, in someone
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: else's hands. The only people I will give it to
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: is the audience, is the fans. So I said, find
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: a way to give your put your career in the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: hands of your fans. And that's when I turned to
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the internet and podcasting, and it's really it was going good,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: going good, and then it's weird like that when the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: pandemic happened. You know a lot of people kind of
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: career life got put on pause. But that's when my
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: career like got to the next level. Yeah, because everybody,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the whole world just sitting in front of computer, same
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: thing with Schultz. Schultz exploded in the pandemic. So it's
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: it's one of those things where I still and I
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: live by that now. And now I am going to
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: do some some TV stuff, but it's all on my
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: own terms. I'm like, yo, I don't want to go
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: to LA I don't want I want to do a
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: whole If I'm going to do TV. It's got to
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: be out of New York because now I have the power,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: because because my fans, because my careers in the hands
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: of my fans. Now my tickets are sold, Now we
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: add shows. Now you know, I have a podcast and
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: a Patreon and everything is being controlled through my way.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: So now I can tell you know, now I can
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: dictate my own terms, where a lot of times with
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: TV you can't. The corporate person will say, well, you
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: can't do this because you know they have all the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: bargaining chips. But now I can say, well, listen, if
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: we don't do it my way, no album, I don't. Guy. Yeah,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: it's and and and it's very respectful, but it's like,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: there's no reason I need to do your show other
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I have everything. I'm only going to do what I
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: want to do. That's a great position to be in life. Yeah,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: I sit on my couch or or or or studio
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: very close to my house, say exactly what I want
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: to the fans that want to hear it. They come
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: and buy tickets to my show, and we have a
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: happy little family. And to be honest with you, and
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with this. It's like even somebody like my
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: mother would be like, oh, why don't you want to
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: do this show at that show, because even she doesn't understand, like,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I lose money doing that. So not only is it freedom,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: you know, comedically, which is the most important, but financially
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: it's like, you know, I make way more money doing

  Speaker 1: but I was like, it's just not worth it, man,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I'll do that. I'll hold flee that opportunity. Similar opportunity
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: is there twenty years from now when I'm older and

• 14:28
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so I think that was the big thing.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Big thing that changed in my career was my mindset

  Speaker 1: of I will only put my career in the hands

  Speaker 1: Let's get back to the interview. Most people would take
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the movie with their comedic hero listen. For me, I
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: just thought about it, right, and I was just like,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: can you say who it is? Kevin Hart? No? No, no no,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I know it was Bill Berr. Okay, Oh well shit, yeah?
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: And and and and and and you know, it was
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: one of those things where I was like, yo, like,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I I is that worth six weeks away from my kids?
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: That worth missing six track practices a birthday? You know? Uh?
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Is it worth? Uh? Three movie nights? Is it? Is? It?
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Is it worth all that? And I was like, you know,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: we're not struggling financially right now or anything we want.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: And I and you know what's great. You know what's
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: the best part about all this too, is I can
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: have say what I want right to my fans who care,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: have some financial freedom and flexibility to my fans give me.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: And the best part is I also have my anonymity.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: When I walk down the street, I get noticed maybe
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: two or three times. But it's a beautiful thing. But
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: it's like, but even if I did do even if
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I said something out of context on a tweet, right, nobody,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: no one's coming to me. It doesn't care. They'd be like, oh,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: what does he have a fucking podcast where he sits
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: down with T T. Jerry and Chrissy Cass. They'd be like,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: this is not big enough. Now. If you get in
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: a movie, if you get on a big take, now
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: they start to want to they have shit to take
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: from you now. But if you don't give them that,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: then what do they have to take? They had something
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: where they were on your ass recently, you were on TikTok. Yeah,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: was it like a Latin joke or something? I don't think.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I think I think people took out of context and
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: they don't realize you're married to a Latin woman. Yeah,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: so that but it's interesting, So that happened. You know,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: the Mexican community was coming after me, and I understood
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: the wording of that joke because basically what I was
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: trying to say was it's basically it was a whole
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: made up scenario. So what I was trying to say
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: was is that t T. Jerry, who if you don't know,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: she's on my podcast. She's transgender Latino woman did twenty
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: years in prison, you know, Puerto Rican. Like she's like,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's my wife's uncle and she's
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: actually my kid's godmother now and you know whatever, she's
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: my family and so so we you know, say wild
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: shit on the pod together. But we were saying that
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: there was a guy was fixing my friend, family friend
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: was fixing an air conditioner unit in my in my attic,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: and his foot went through the ceiling right, So I
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: was like, and he said, he was like, he was like,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: oh shit, he goes, I'm sorry. I was like, yeah, whatever,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: just patch it up. And then and then he goes
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: and then he goes. He was like, he's Spanish, but
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: he was like, oh, I don't have my papers. I
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: don't have my papers and then like so we were
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: just like joking around like that and all laughing. So
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: then I went on the podcast the next day. And
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: that's what it is, like, you take scenarios like that
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: and you make bits of it. That's even in a podcast,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: people like, hey, what you said about X, Y and
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Z that you know sometimes my family called me like
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: that's not true. I'm not This isn't therapy, right, doing
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: a show, so we're entertaining people. So what happened was
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I said on the podcast, I said, oh, you know,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: like a Mexican worker felt through my ceiling yesterday, and
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: I was like, you know, I was like, you know,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: he said that his neck hurt. And then T. T.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Jerry went up there and was like, I said that
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: he felt through this. What I meant to say was
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: he fell through the ceiling. And then twenty minutes later,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he said it's neck hurt. And
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: then T. T. Jerry went up the stairs like, oh,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: your neck hurt. Where's your papers? And then he was
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: like I don't have papers and he was like th
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: bah like that. So but the way that TikTok came
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: out was I didn't say the twenty minute part and
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I just did a word right. So it sounded like,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: especially if you don't know me, sounds like this white
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: guy is here talking about the Latino community and all
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: the It got to the point where like people are like,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: somebody goes, we found the worker. We're gonna we're gonna
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: found him. Some lady some like famous Mexican American attorney
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: or I guess famous on TikTok was like we messaged me.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: They're like, we found the worker. We are going to
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: represent him for free or assist grants. I was like,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the worker is literally a dummy from Staten Island who
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: was a family friend. Like what, there's no work for them?
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: You didn't fud there's no worker. So I texted his
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: name is Anthony. I was like anybody reached out to.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: He was like I don't even have his cell phone,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: like you know, like so like it's just like stupid
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: and then these people attack. So but then it's interesting
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: because it's just a micro cosm like social media. It's
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: just a microcosm people because you think they're like, oh,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: people were like sending me like death threats. Right, and
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: then I did shows coincidentally, I think three weeks later
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: in in the not the Irvine was Yeah, it was
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: the Irvine improv. Yah. It's a huge Mexican of course
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: community in that area. Bro. The producer, I'm sorry, the
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: manager of the club you know is beautiful sold out shows,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: thanking to people of Irvine for of course, you know,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: it's like all the shows put together. It's like three
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: thousand tickets. It's like a big ass venue. Like I
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: did six six shows, five hundred people each show. He
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: told me he was like, other than Felipe A Sparza,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: who's a huge Mexican media, La goes, you have the
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: most Mexican fans I've ever seen in this venue, and
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: all of them love none of them even, none of
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: them even saw that TikTok or barely any of them, kid,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: And the ones that did were like, like, yo, it's
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: fucking hilarious. That's the thing about the internet is like
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: you can't take it too serious because it's always the
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: really loud minority and like you always think in your head,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: everybody saw this, when you're really not that many people
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: in your real life or fans really actually give a
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: fuck or yeah, because you have to also understand, you
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: have to understand the mindset of someone on social media.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: For you to even both ways and listen, it's all good.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I you know, will appreciate it, like whatever, But for
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: you to comment negatively on someone's Instagram or TikTok publicly
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: or positively, it's a little bit like most people don't
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: give a fuck at all, Right, most people are like, yeah,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I just move on with my shit. Like I would
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: comment on something you because we know each other. But
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: for random people to comment or send you DMS positive
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: or negative is a little like it's just strange. And
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: most most people, most people don't care. Most people didn't
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: even see that TikTok, or they did, they didn't give
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: a shit, and they bought a ticket because they liked
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: me from other things, or they didn't buy a ticket.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: They don't like me for everything. So the people that
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: get so wrapped up. So actually a step that I've
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: taken is and I understand, you know, not everyone can
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: do this. I get it to be in a fortunate position.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: But I have now given the keys to my all
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: my social media, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, everything to someone else,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: to a guy who works for my management company. I
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: know him very well. He has the passwords to everything.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I purposely told him do not give. I don't want
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: to know. I don't want to have access into my
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: own social media. You you know, if somebody like you
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: reached out and he was like yo, and then he'll
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: send it to me, I'm like, give him my number,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: tell him to text me. We'll do things like that.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: But I'm like, I don't want to know because it
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: is a thing. A lot of people talk about negative
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: comments and how it messes with your brain chemistry one
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: hundred percent accurate. So do positive ones? Positive ones take
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: you out into this egotistical state where you aren't who
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: you really are. So I said, you know what, I
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: don't need it anymore. It's built up to me where
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: it's comfortable, like you know, whatever, I however many you know,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: one hundreds thousands are on there, it's comfortable enough for me.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: It's a ticket selling apparatus for me. I tell my
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: guy what to post every day, give him the video,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: tell him the caption. So it is my writing and
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: my work, of course, but I don't have any I
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: don't know who's saying them. Even after shows, there would
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: be a thing where I would be paralyzed. After shows.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: You have a good show. Check the thirty fifty one
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: hundred DMS. Girls, guys, I want to hang out. I
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: want to take you to bar and I'd be, oh
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: my god, you almost have. You know, sometimes too many options,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: too much choice is not freedom's you're in prison with
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: too many choices. That's that's a thing where It's like
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I felt like the less I have, the less people
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: that have access to me, the freer I am. So
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I was like, now, the only people that have access
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: to me is if you have my number or my email,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: if you're a personal friend or family member, then we
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: can talk. Other than that, there's a layer, there's someone,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: a buffer in front of it. And bro, It's made
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: everything in my life so much better. From relationship with
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: my girl, relationship with my kids, my body. I've lost
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: like twenty five pounds fasting working out because I'm not
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not sucked into tocasonally phone, I'm not sucked into
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: the toxicity of it. Even you know, yes, yes, women,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: you know all that stuff, you know, because sex is
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: an addiction, like anything else that gets you in trouble.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Of course, comparison, you know, my one of my favorite
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: quotes I just did a video about it from Teddy Roosevelt,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: who says, well, oh my fault, you know these guys crying.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: One of my favorite quotes from Teddy Roosevelt is is
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: a comparison is the thief of joy? Oh yes, it's
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: the worst. Yeah. So I don't compare myself to my peers.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know what my peers are doing. I'm happy
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: for whatever they're doing. I only I compare me to me.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Even on social media, sometimes you compare you to you,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: and that's not good. Either. You'll look at a picture
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: or video of yourself from ten months ago and be like,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: why don't Why don't I look like that anymore? Or
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I was more popping back then. It's all bullshit. So
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I just stay for me. I've made a decision. I
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: only care. I also don't want someone on the other
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: side of the world to influence my day. I don't.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: They don't know me, I don't know them. So I
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: made another choice where I was like, I'm only going
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: to deal with the opinions of the people in the
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: room with me or my friends and family, those people
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I would care about if I'm being a physical presence
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: or a friends, but some other person writing something on
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: YouTube or Instagram, I don't give it. I don't give
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: it my headspace anymore. And some people are strong enough
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: to say, well, I just won't look I wasn't. I
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: had to just look myself in the mirror and say,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: you're too much of a pussy Chris, you need to
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: get rid of it. So I just I didn't delete
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: it because I you know, again, it's a ticket selling
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: out there, it's part of your but I don't have
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: any access to it. So like, if you DM me
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: people in my life who you know, communicating with, who
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: do have my number? Like, yo, are you mad at me?
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: You don't respond to my dms anymore? I'm like, bro,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: you gotta text me. I don't have any information. I
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: don't even have a way into that anymore. And you know,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I know that you know that not everybody has to
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: do that, But for me, I've only seen positive change
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: since I've gotten less, like less on social media and
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: more focusing on the people in front of me. Yeah.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: The screen time thing, when you look at your screen time,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like a rude awakening you're life. Fuck,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I said, how much time looking at this fucking thing? Yeah? Yeah,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: it's crazy. Yeah, and you know it's weird. It's because
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: it's like, you know, my head is up more, I'm
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: looking around more. You know, there's been times where you know,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I would even see somebody's you know, a peer of minds,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: a great video that they posted or whatever, and I'm like,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: I'll call my guy right away, Like yo, we gotta
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: make something, like you know, and then that making something, yeah,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: maybe would have pushed things a little further or maybe not.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: But in order to make that, I then would have
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: to skip out on dinner with my family. Where now
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I do my work for the day, I spent my
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: time and then it's done, and then I and then
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: whatever happens happens, like whatever it may be may be
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: because I'm like, you know, you only get one spin
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: around this planet. So I'm like, I'm like, I don't
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: want to. The thing that I know you'll never get
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: back is time. And especially you know, for those of us,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: of our children, I'm like, I'm never gonna get They'll
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: never be little again. There will be a time where
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: they don't they don't want us. Yeah, they're gonna be
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: like you're gross, go away, you're cringey. Yeah. And I'm like, listen,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: you got hot friends, man, you know, like they're nineteen,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: bring them over. Yeah, no, no, no, no, but but
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: but so right now though, I mean listen, and of
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: course it's like, you know, you gotta work. I'm happy
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: to work. My my career makes me happy. You know,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: you got we have to be happy first, So we
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: can make the rest of our families happy. But I
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: right now, I'm just like yeah, man, like I uh,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: you know, I pick and choose what it is I
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: want to do and and uh. But the getting off
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: social media has helped me like tremendously. I genuinely in
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: my heart believe that whatever it is, fifty years from now,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: social media will be looked at as toxic and cancerus
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: as smoking cigarettes were back in the day. Like I
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: think it's I think it's a similar thing. It's a
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: different thing. It's not causing lung cancer, right, but it
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: is causing a decay in society. And I would a
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: laser depression depression I cannot. I would. I would imagine
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I would be willing to bet everything that suicide rates
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: being as high as av ours is directly linked to
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: social media. And I think that the people at these
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: social media companies know that. And I think that it's
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's an algorithm. It's they're feeding on
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: our our social capabilities. Is it's money to them, so
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: that they they're they're they're gambling on you know what
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: we're gonna are, you know, predicting our moves and making
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: money off it. So I get it, but I don't
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: want to be a part of it anymore, you know,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: or as little of a stop man. Yeah, what, I
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: kill myself tonight. Just blow my head off, Jesus yo,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: let me Because so you're a white man who's with

• 31:49
  Speaker 1: what's wrong with them? Like, oh, yeah, yeah, well that's
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: it's you know, see that's the thing. Well, because you're
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: obviously heavily in the music game, it's an interesting thing. Society.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Comics talk at this. When I think about this a lot,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: it's like a comic, right, will get scrutinized for word,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: you know, this joke or that joke or you know,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Kevin Hart a homophobe tweet, can't holst the oscar or whatever.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: But then on that same show they have like eminem
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: On who does rap lyrics about killing his ex wife
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: and put a ripping. So you're like, how come rap
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: gets a pass and and and comics don't. It's it's
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: this thing in society that no one can really explain,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: and I think that it's interesting, Like you know, like
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: like sometimes I feel like yo, as as as a
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: white guy, sometimes I'm like yo, man, especially in this
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: like if I say anything, oh, homophobe, You're a racist,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: and I'm like yo. Honestly, the most homophobic racist people
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: I've ever met my life are not white, dude. They
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: are Latino and black. Some of the Latino and black
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: people i've met him like, well, are you a Nazi?
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: You can't say that, you know, but it's true. You're
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: so right. No, It's like, I'm like, but I'm the
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: fucking bad guy. I'm like, holy shit, Like you can't.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: You can't. Most homophobic people in my life are definitely
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: people of color. Yeah, a who hundred percent, dude. Some
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: of the shit that I've heard at family barbecues on
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: my girl. So and I'm like, I literally I want
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: to call my sanatar. I'm like, I'm like, I'm gonna
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: I'm contacting the police. But you know, I'm the one
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: with fucking Hitler head, so I'd be in trouble for it.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: But I'm like, but I'm like, yo, But it's one
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: of those things where but see, that's the thing. That's
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: the thing I think too, is you know, getting you know,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: dating outside your race, you realize, you know, yes, racism race,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: I understand that, but it's really tribalism, that's what it is.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: It's like people want to just they feel safe with
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: people that look like that and sound like them and
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: come through the same struggles as them. So that's why
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: you know, you'll have I believe, like you know, say,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: like you know, sometimes you have like Latino people that
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: like say the N word, and you'll have a white person,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Well how come they can say the ndword and I can't, Like, Well,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: because the Latino and black struggle is very similar in
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: this country, where the white struggle is different. So that's why.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: So it's a tribalism. They've become a tribe where they've said, hey,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: this it's always a white person that's that's mad about it.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Always Yeah, yeah, it's a white lady, yes thirty seven, Yeah,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I got a few cats. Yeah, well, I like it's funny,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: like as like, I guess because I, you know, have
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Aleena Latino culture. I always think that too. I'm like,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: why do white people care? I'm like, just dude, I
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: want to tell white people just shut the fuck up.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: It's that guilt shit, right, Yeah, dude, It's not your
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: job to police everybody's feelings. I'm like, just shut up. Yeah,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: you're not the bar of what what's offensive? Yeah, like
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: if a white person is more offended than the person
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: the joke's actually about, Like it's probably a good joke. Yeah,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's one of those you know, it's funny.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: I was in an and it's crazy and I didn't
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: make I didn't say anything, but I was about to
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: like make like a bit about it, so so in
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: the room. So literally I was in you know swag right,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: what great friend of mine Sway is Like I hosted
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: a show in twenty fourteen on MTV with Sway. I
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: was the cat. Nobody watched it, but it was called
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: off the bat. But Anyway, Sway taught me so much
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: knowledge about like hosting the show and being on camera
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: and just being in this world. Sway is like, I
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: love Sway. I think he might be the father of
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: my youngest kid and and I love it. Please you know,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: she misses you so so Sway. Sway is the best.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: But I remember I was in Sway in the Morning, yeah,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: you know, as a guest on on his series show
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: when the whole Esse Smolette Oh thing broke right and
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: I was in there, white guy, you know, you know,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: all black casts everybody, and they're and they're they're they're
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: just Slett and Tracy's reading it and she's like, you know,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: and it's horrible, and it's like that fucking energy in
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: there is like oh shit. And then they say they're like,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: you know, uh, Jesse Smolette was was you know, attacked
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: beaten by two white you know that they were saying
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: time two white men and they were like, you know,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: you know, they they threw acid at him and a
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: news and they say, you must be you're that You're
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: that guy from Empire, you know whatever, You're that those
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: rednecks wash Empire. You're that guy from Empire, and so
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: at that point I was about to say I don't
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: think that's real because no white people watch Empire, and
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: and then I didn't say it. And if I would
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: have said it, then it would I would have been
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: like thrown down street and eyes I like gotten canceled.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: What Literally? I would have been right wou right, because
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: when I heard that story, I was like, everything, everything
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: checks out, but not that yeah, because my comic mind
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: was like anybody with the maga hats not watching an Empire. Yeah,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: I was like, this is a hoax, but you know,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: it was funny like and sometimes I'm like, yoah, I
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: should have just did the joke man on a comic.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: But then I was like, yoh, I love sway and
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: that it cost you your friendship for a few minutes.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: You did it, yeah, exactly what it costed my friendship
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: for about six months. And I'd be like, come on,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: come on, you know right yeah yeah, but but but
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: it was one of those things where I remember that
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: moment being like yo uh, but but yeah, man, I
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: think too. With comedy, you know, it's the beautiful thing
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: about being a comic is my show's man. I got it.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: The thing that one of the things I'm most proud of.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: It's very culturally diverse arty. It's like a community college.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: When you come to my shows. Everybody's out there, all
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: different religions, races. It's it's dope. So because I think,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: you know, comedy is one of those things where it's
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: like we just go up there confident with the jokes.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Comedy is not supposed like when people get mad at comics,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: there's such fucking nerds because it's like the comic is
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: the member of society. It's supposed to say the thing
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: sposed to anything nobody else could say, because it's an outlet.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: That's why we do it in dark, dingy basements. I'm
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: not telling you go tell your friends at the water cooler,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: fucking dummy. But you know, like so so I think
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: though for the most part too, at least with comics.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: You know, if it's just words, actions, aren't you know
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: u uh, you know, you do some criminal shit that's
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: the eyes of the law. But comics with words, I
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: think it's happening less and less with the quote unquote
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: cancel stuff because it's like, yo, we're coming. In my opinion,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: you cannot be funny and hateful, like you're one of
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: the other. Like you know, Hitler wasn't funny, Chase all hate.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: So it's like if you're funny and and and the
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: joke comes off wrong. That's why comedy is subjective. It
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: may not be for you. That's fine. It's intent based.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: It's like, what was your intent with It wasn't to
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: like be hatefuler to be r hurt feelings. It was
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: to make light of something everyone's thinking about anyway. Yeah,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: because you got to understand too, man, like any big uprising,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: you know, I love here's a big history fan. You
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: cannot you know, like silence comics and artists. You can't
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: do that because I'm telling you when it comes down
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: to it, like you know, in the Holocaust, you know
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: they killed the artists in comic they killed them first
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: because they don't want you know, they don't these regime
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: doesn't want people talking and open you know, dialogue like
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: we have what we have in this country right now
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: is such a beautiful thing. You can you can, we
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: can have differences of opinions, you know, we all that stuff,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: you know, like like this discourse. That's like fine, but
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: these groups of people that want to you know, like,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: you know, they'll say silence is violence unless I speak
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: up and say what you don't want me to say,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: then you try to silence me. So the premise of
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense to me. It never did,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: so I'm like, so I'm like, as a comic, I'm like, yo,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: we got to all just keep talking about whatever it
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: is you want to talk about because you need us,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: you know, just like we need musicians and all that,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: and the people try to silence like, I don't know why.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: At times, politicians, you know, will get you know, comics
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: will get treated like politicians, and politicians will get treated
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: like comics, like as a comic, that's true, you know,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: it's I mean, think about the Trump shit he got
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: the past, like he was a comedian for so much
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: of the shit he said, yeah, and then there'll be
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: comedians around that same time that Kevin Hart thing has yeah,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: where it's like wait, which one is which? Yeah, Like
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: like it's almost like this this little like defect in
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: society where it's like what you're attacking like the wrong people? Man,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Like I'm a comic, I'm not I'm not trying. I
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: don't have anything to do with Congress like, you know,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: but but the the people had something to do Congress,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: like you said, the free So it's just been an
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: interesting thing. But that's why. But I think, you know, again,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: turning to an audience and a fan base that just
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: likes what I do, it's almost like, well, you know,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: I think this idea of being generically famous isn't realistic anymore,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Like you're not good, We're too much of a niche society. Now.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: I think the same with music and comedy and movies.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: It's like, you know, it's it's only for a certain
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: group of people, but go for that. I mean, you know, now,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: these movies that win you know, Oscars, most somebody's never
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: seen them or we don't know, you know, you you

• 40:47
  Speaker 1: The best me and my son's like favorite show since
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: like season one, since I remember watching Impractical Jokers when
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: my kid was like eight, and now he's like seventeen. Yeah,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: I've seen probably every episode. Yeah, and when Sal started
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: doing the podcast thing, I loved it. And yeah, you
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: guys obviously have a great dynamic. How did you guys
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: link up? So we started hey babe about two years ago.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: We were been for so Sal. You know, Impractical Jokers
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: was huge, and then Sal So Sally used to run
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: a show at this place on Staten Island called Cargo,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: where he was not dude, He hadn't even made Impractical
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Jokers that he was literally the bar owner and bartender
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: that ran a comedy show. And all us comics would
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: come to his comedy show and be like, Yo, this
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: guy's great, and then all of a sudden, I'm nowhere
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: went They were like, is that the guy that owns Cargo?
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: He has a TV show? Like you don't men know
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: he did comedy? Yeah, and then and then and then
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: he comes out obviously hit show. Say with me, I
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: mean my kids that you're young, but I watched that
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: show and die laughing. I would watch it with my dad.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Good it's well, I mean it's because a lot of times,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: like you know, we of course we always support our
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: friends in comedy. They got a Netflix show whatever, and
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: we watch it, you know, to give him the views
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: and whatever help. But Impractical Jokers is like, I genuinely
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: watch it because I'm like, this makes me feel better
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: about my day when I can just laugh at and
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: you can watch it with any Yeah yeah, yeah, you know,
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: it's not like back in the day when I was
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: like in high school, Like I couldn't watch Jackass with
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: my parents, No, no no, no, I could Watchhi Practical Jokers. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: That's mostly who I watch it with is my parents,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: and you know, we get along. But but sal in
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, I was doing a show at at Caroline's
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: and he came and and you know, we we we
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: knew each other just through social media, but then we
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: started to like actually become friends and we hung would
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: hang out all the time, you know, he would always
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: throw the big Super Bowl party at his house and
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: would see him all the time. And then he started
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: doing stand up, you know, and then as he started
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: doing stand up, we started I started see him at
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: the clubs, and you know, he's become like this great
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: stand up now. And then two years ago we were
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: just like, you know, pandemic happ and we're like Yo.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: We we hang out like every weekend and just talk
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: shit for six hours and die lafting. Why don't we
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: just make this a pod? Yeah? Why are you going
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: to make this a pod? Yeah? And then we just
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: did it, you know, found the place, did it, and
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: and you know, and now it literally doing hey babe,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: you know Chrissy Chaos. I love doing but you know,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: it's all on me. It's it's like it's usually just
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: me or or or you know, a lot of times
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: you don't have a guest. And I love doing it.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: I have fun, but it's a lot of work where
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: hey Babe is literally just we go in there where
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: most of the time ninety nine percent of the time
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: no plan other than hey, we're going to catch up
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: on camra on camera, and that's what it is. So
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: so that that's that literally, that podcast literally is Salinized
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Friendship since twenty fourteen, just on display. That's all it is.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: When Joe leaves the show, do the fans like start
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: this this this campaign to maybe the fourth guy. I
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: got so many messages my agent got. It was constant,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: like Chris, Chris, Chris. And then I spoke to sal
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: about it, and I said to sal I said the
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: beauty of and he of course agreed. And they you know,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: the plan that they have now is working where they
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: get like posting guests. Yeah, that method, man, and that
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: that works beautiful because the thing is like, you know,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: these these networks would try to recreate in practical jokers
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: and because it was such a mega hit. The reason
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: why it was a mega hit is because their friendship
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: started at fourteen years old, right, So don't throw someone
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: like me in or another one of you know, our
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: comedy peers. I'm not friendship and the same chemistry, thirty
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: years of chemistry that cannot be duplicated by anyone else
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: unless there's four group of friends that have that mindset
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: that so you can't just reproduce that that is their
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: friendship on display that I'm not a part of. So
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: it's like the way they're doing it now is just
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: to have an outside guy in just once in a while.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: That's cool. It's it's the smart that's cool. I hope
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Joe ens up coming coming back. He's so on TikTok.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: I know, dude, he's the best on TikTok, the best. Yeah,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Joe Joe is I mean, he was my favorite. Yeah it, Madiac.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: You know what's crazy too about you know, being with
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: Sal because I I used to open for Sal. I
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: would open for Sal a lot over the last few years.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: But you know now now we both do our own
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: headline things. But but but Sal, you know what I
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: would be with him? It's crazy how like you know,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: he would have all his fans, Like it almost feels
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: like all four of them each have the same amount fans,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: but they're all different groups of people, Like you got
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: the Q fans, You've got the Murph fans, You've got
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: the Soald fans, you got the Joe fans. They all
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: collectively love all four of them. But it's like, you know,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: ten million people love Sal, ten love Joe ten love.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: It's it's like a wild thing, how like their their
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: fame is literally split four ways evenly. It's also like
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: it's pretty wild that like, somehow they have had the
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: biggest comedy series. I don't know, it feels like in
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: a long time. It is. This is a fact in
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: the top five biggest comedy shows of all time, including Seinfeld,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: they have while they're the arena tours, the cruise and
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: somehow I feel like they don't get the respect or
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: or the like recognition that they deserve. Yeah, it's it's
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: one of I think it's because like what I noticed,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: like when when people come up to Sound the airport
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: and all that. First of all, you know, he gets
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: mobbed and and and but he gets mobbed in a
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: way that because they and they are but because on
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: the show especially, they do such an amazing job of
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: coming off like we're just four regular guys like yours.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Like you would just come up to sal and be like,
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: I love you man, Is this a joke or touchy
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: or whatever, because that's just one of the guys. Wow.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: We would do that to Kevin Hark because there's a
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: wall you're like, no, it's a movie story, you know,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: or the rock or something like that, where Sally You're like, oh,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: I just saw him. He was just he was giving
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: somebody who went story. Yeah. Yeah. Like so so it's
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: this fame that's like, it's it's very different. And I
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: think that aspect of it causes sometimes these you know,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: media conglomerates to like like they should be winning all
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: the Comedy Emmys and all that their shows are the biggest,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: the funniest, you know, so so, but but listen, you know,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: I can promise you that them practical jokers are doing
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: very well. Yeah, have you done it? Have you done
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: the cruise yet? I did the cruise. I did the
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: cruise in February of twenty twenty when literally the same
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: cruise right, a boat that left the same time as
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: us from a couple of bays down starting COVID. They
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: got locked on the boat in whatever their destination was
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: for three weeks. They were on the same day you
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: dodged a fucking dodge a COVID bullet. Geez. Yeah, but
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: it was fun. So I did the last one. I
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: don't know if the cruise industry is even coming back.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna do another one. You know,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: I've never been on a cruise, and there's just something
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: about Yeah, it's just it's just to me, it's like,
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: why would I go trap myself on a boat for
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: six hundred dollars for a week. Well, it was interesting
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: because you know, the rooms or one of the rooms
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: that I was in, had a GP had the boat's
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: GPS in it by one of the teams, and you
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: went from Miami to the Bahamas. But that trip only
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: takes like six hours, but you're in the middle of
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: the sea for three days, so it literally is just
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: making circles and going up and down and left and
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: right for a day. I'm like, this is so dumb.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: You're killing all these fish, like this is dumb, and
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: these people are just eating on the buffet, like just
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: just hoarding all this food. And yeah, no, it was.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: It was one of those things where I was like,
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: you know, of course happy to do it, but I
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: was like, one of those things, I'm happy I experienced it.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Don't know that I've never taking a wife and kids
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: on one of these No, they don't want to go. No,
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: they know that when we no, no, I take them
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: to Puerto Rico, and then that's fun. The last time
• 48:11

  Speaker 1: you think that it was a good idea to bring
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: a man who was admitted to multiple murders to our
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: house with our daughters? Did you think that that was
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: a good idea at all? And I was like, yeah,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: it's for the podcast, and she was like it wasn't smart.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: She goes, never ever bring a murderer to this house again,
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: that's a fay, that's a fair requil. I was like,

• 52:32
  Speaker 1: two fake knees. But but but he's back in the day.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: You know. I think a lot of guys, you know,
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: he's from the Bronx. I think a lot of guys
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: in the seventies, eighties, even early nineties got mixed up
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: with those guys, you know, gambling, right, and and and
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: running around and it's just an easy way to make money. Like, hey,
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: you know you you work for this family. You know,
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: go pick up this gambling debt, that gambling debt. So
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: you get to know those guys. Not that he was
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: ever a maid guy or whatever, right, but you get
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: to know those guys. You get to know those circles,
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: you know, those people. Was collecting money, yeah, collect yeah, yeah,
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: pretty much like his job. I would call like it
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: it was like a different work number every week, and
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: somebody would just be like accounting and it was always
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: like some guy, some different guy, and I I had
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: no idea, like so you'd have to go shake down
• 53:14

• 54:13
  Speaker 1: my mom said they my mom served divorce papers to
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: my dad when she was pregnant with me because he gambled.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: This was nineteen eighty four. I was I was born
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: in eighty four. Okay, so the Jordan year he was
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: drafted in eighty four, nineteen eighty four. There's a book
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: I forgot what it's I think it's called Glory Years.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: It's about how wild the year nineteen eighty four was.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: I haven't read it yet, but there's like a lot
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: of shit that went down in nineteeny four. But so
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: eighty four, my dad, you know, bad gambler or whatever,
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: took like eight thousand dollars of like my of their
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: like ten thousand dollars savings and bettered on like the
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: Montreal expos like some bullshit and random thig and they
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: lost and then so and then I think what happened

  Speaker 1: was is my somebody called my dad didn't pay up,
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: and somebody called my mom at like whatever it is,
• 54:58

• 55:01
  Speaker 1: you're pregnant you don't want to fall down a flight
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: to stays like shit like that. And then my mom
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: took me to like Lancaster, Pennsylvania, like we got got
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: to get out of die, got out of dogs, came back,
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: gave birth and then I think that was like the
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: beginning of the end. And then uh but but but
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: my dad always says, he's like, you know, when you
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: were born like that was like that's when I feel
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: like I hit the lotto like that, like you. And
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: then he started to like slowly get out of it all.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: And now I mean, I don't know anything like about
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: I have multiple family members on my dad's side who
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: were like murdered and stuff like that's like real on
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: the nose, mock murdered like shot like shot and killed.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: Police never investigated it. So it's like you know, like
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: sleep with the Fishes kind of Oh yeah, So I'm
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: like so that stuff. I'm like, oh see, that's the
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: thing with like with like organized crime and all that,
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: like it's it's cool and romanticizing the movies and it
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: is it is. I get why, But when it's actually
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: in your family, you are like, eh, who was like
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: the closest relative to you that you that passed my uncle,
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: so my aunt's husband. But I was again a little kid,
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: but him and his son, my cousin was just murdered,
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: like shot to death at work in Long Island, New Jersey.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Fock yeah dude. Yeah. Then when you look it up,
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: it's like that there was no leads, no nothing, and
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: then it's crazy. My aunt got and this is like
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: a mafia thing. My aunt got I don't know for
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: the amount of time, but like every month behind like
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: one of the plants, give me money, bag of money,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: because probably the family that killed him are like, well,
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: we gotta take care of the wife if we're gonna, yeah,
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: take him out. See those guys. See that's the thing,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: like the mafia, the Italian mafia. I understand the extortion
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: and the crimes. I get it. I get why it's bad,
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: I really do. But there is a little bit, there's
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: a little code, there's a little bit of like, well
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: it's a little bit safer when the mafia's around. They're
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: not gonna Here's the thing is, Yes, it sucks. I
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: gotta pay this fee, this extortion fee. That sucks. But
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: you know what, no one's ever gonna bring to my business.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: No one's ever gonna hurt my kids because if they do,
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: they're fucking dead. And they will not mess with you
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: unless you mess with them. At least the old guys
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: were the new people. You know. I don't know, but
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: the old guys, my father will always say. The only
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: people you gotta watch out for in this world are
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: mafia wannabes. The wanna bees are the guys who will
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: hurt you because they don't live by the code. The
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: guys who live by the code you never see it coming.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: You just get one in the back of the head.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: But they would never touch you unless you did something
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: to them, and they would, you know. I remember being
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: in Cross Bay Boulevard to Howard Beach always would have
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: a festival like a carnival every year, and I remember
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: going there on some of my dad and John Gotti
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: and his guys were handing out free candy to all
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: the kids. I was like, this guy is fucking like Jesus.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: Did you did you get any candy from of course, yeah, no,
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: we're all with all the kids. Gave it to all
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: the kids. He was just John Gotti. You got some
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: the gott He's candy some mafia kids. Yeah, it was
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: like a big deal, like the kids would there's a
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: million kids. Did he say hi to your dad? No?
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: I hate it's been a while. Good to see it. No,
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: but you know it's funny. It's he didn't say it
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: to my dad. But when John Gotti died, his funeral
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: was in Queen's and I remember my dad was like,
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: you know, I lived in Queen's right, and my dad,
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: you know, I was a teenager by then, so it's
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: not like I knew his you know, whereabouts every second
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: of the day. But but he called me. He's like,
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: I'm in Queens. You want to get a slice of pizza.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: I'll meet you by your mother's house. And I was like,
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: oh cool. And then I I remember said it was like,
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: why arean Queen's a guy friend died. I went to
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: their funeral, and I was like, oh, because I know that,
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: But but I never asked, like, but it could not,
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: it could not. It could have been coincident. I'm like, Dad, yeah,

  Speaker 1: you're on dialysis, you got two old knees or new knees. Whatever. Yeah,
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: let's peel back the onon. Give me some of these stories.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, let's do a podcast. Yeah, you
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: know he wouldn't. That's the thing is he wouldn't say
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: because he's very much like, I don't want you near this, right,
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: you know. But it was funny when I remember that day.
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: He was like, I was at a friend's funeral. I
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, John Gotti. Yeah, yeah, okay, oh man,
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: imagine it wasn't It was just like a neighbor. Yeah,
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: some old you just came up with this coincidence in

  Speaker 1: your head. None of it's real. He's never in the
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: mom fiets like, no and no, he actually worked for
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: the banks, you know. He genuinely worked for Chase. Yeah,
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: my mother he cheated on my mom. Yeah, that's why
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: she just fucking she just Jesus bitter. Yeah, that's all
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: it is. What do you got coming up? Obviously you
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: had specially West She come out this year, especially WESH
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: on Netflix came out. That's that's still out there, And
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: I'm proud of that one because that was all self
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: produced by me. That was Netflix had actually said everybody
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: had said no to my special, like of me, did
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: you already get that made and then take it to
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: them pre No? So what happened was is I was
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: before I made it. I was trying to have people
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: come out watch my hour and this and that, and
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: everyone was just passing on me. HBO said no, Netflix
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: or some of them wouldn't even come out like no,
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not looking for that. Okay, They're like, we don't
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: want a straight white male right in comedy. At that point, fine,
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not complaining about it, but just what it was, right,
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: We'll find another way, no problem. But so I got
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: to a point where said, you know what, fuck it?
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: What what am I even going after these corporate corporations
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: from my whole mindset from day one, like I and
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: in the beginning of this podcast has been give it
• 1:00:02

• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: gonna put this shit on YouTube. I'm gonna self produce it.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: Did it what with my guy Mike Lavin, the homeless
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: pimp who does all my podcasts. I said, he's going
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: to direct it, film it. We're doing it that way. Whatever,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: So it filmed it. All these companies had said no,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: and then my agent was like, listen, I think this
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: is a great special. Let me at least just put
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: this in Netflix's hands now that the product is finished,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: and we'll see what they say. Day later they call
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: Netflix wants it. So I said, so I get on
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: the phone with Netflix. You know, you have to talk
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: to him, and they said, hey, you know, we want it.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: I said great, I said, you guys can have it.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it, but you have to take it as is.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: And they were like, well, at the end of the special,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: you shit on Netflix. I was like, you have to
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: take it as is or I'm just gonna put it
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: on YouTube, and they're like, the only thing we want
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: is obviously to edit out the Netflix stuff. I said,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: you have to take it as is. If you do not,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: if that's edited out, then I will put it on YouTube.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: I don't care, I said. I respect Netflix, I really do.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: I was like, my kids fucking love Cocoa Melas, but
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: I literally don't care at all if my thing is
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: on this platform, and right it's for the fans. So
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: either keep it in or I will put it on
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: YouTube in a week. It doesn't matter to me. And
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: then they were like, okay, let us check with the
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: high ups. And then the high ups stay and give
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: a fuck. They were like, just put it on as
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: is then, so so I was like, so that's what
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: it is. So if you watch my special. At the end,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: I just I'm kind of like, you know, I did
• 1:01:26

  Speaker 1: fucking time. Let's get back to the interview. The thing
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: is is it's like a metaphor for life too. It's
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: like there's nothing, there's nothing to get any nobody can
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: give you anything anymore like there, especially in entertainment, like
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: nobody can give you anything. You can only do it
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: yourself and put it out yourself. There's people are like, oh,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: I want to get something, there's nothing to get You
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: have to you have to make it happen and put
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: it out. That's this is the only way. Like even now,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: you know, take someone like like Aaron YOUW. Schultz who's
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: made his whole career and living off just putting his
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: things out. Now, the movies and TV shows come to
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: him because there was nothing they could give him. He
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: had he had to do it, and then they see,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: oh we want that so so so that's a mindset
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: that you know, I hope my daughters don't have to
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: do comedy, but I hope they if they're gonna take
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: anything from me and be like, oh, you know, we
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: we have to create things and we have to do things.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: There's nobody's gonna give you anything in this world. You
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: gotta you gotta make it, and then you know, let
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: somebody you know buy it from you. Last couple of things,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: give me your all time Mount Rushmore of comedy, Mount
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: Rushmore of comedy, Mount Rushmore of Bill Burr. I like
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: Bill Burr, Louis c K, Dave Chappelle, and and you
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: know who is one of the most underrated comics of
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: Not that he's underrated, he's wildly famous, but people don't
• 1:04:07

  Speaker 1: he's like melts down on fucking Instagram. You know he's
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: fuck but I know he can't get any more bald. Yeah. Uh.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: And then and then there's a guy who I just
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: I watch his stuff and I cry laughing as a
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: Kyle Dunagan. He makes these unbelievable sketches. And then uh, yeah,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: there's this kid, Eric Delessandro who makes these sketches on
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: Instagram at that very New York base. I really like that.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: But yeah, those, you know, And and because you know,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: it's hard with my peers and stand up that, you know,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: because like we're all kind of not competing with each other,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: but it's tough to like get in a zone that
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: just breaks down where like we can laugh because you know,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: a comic peer of mind will make a great joke
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: and I'll be like shit, instead of laughing, I'm like
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: why did I think of that. Why don't I have
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: a premise like that. It's very difficult to separate. It's like,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: you know, an athlete watching another athlete. Yeah, they're admiring them,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: but they're also like, you know, I gotta step my
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: game up. It's hard to just sit back and enjoy.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: But yeah, though I think those people are you know,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: they just make me like Bobby Lee. He's die laughing.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: And Bobby Lee doesn't have a special no. Yeah, Like
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of people say he just has been
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: doing the same like hour for like ever, you know,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: I to be fair, I haven't seen Bobby Lee's most
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: recent stand up, but the thing is, every time I
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: see him, it's just so over the top funny that
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: even if it was the same material, I don't notice.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: I loved the podcast like Tiger Fell. Yeah, David Tell
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: is like that. David Tell is another guy in the
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore of comics. Like David Tell and Colin Quinn
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: from the Mount Rushmore of comics to me as well.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: But Attel only has one or two specials and Colin
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: has uh like one man shows, but only one or
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: two actual stuff that shows about history that are brilliant.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: They're great, but it's just one man shows. So so
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: you know, it's this interesting thing where like sometimes people
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: don't put out a whole you know, a whole bunch
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: of stuff. That's that's fair. Last thing you went on
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: Rogan obviously that seems to be kind of like a
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: turning point for every comedian. Like once you get the
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: invite to Austin, you go down there and you see Joe.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: Did you first of all, how was the experience? Did
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: he did he give you any game? And did you
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: notice kind of things uptick after? You know it's getting
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: on Rogan when I did so, It's fantastic to do Rogan.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: I'm always do it. But it's weird that, like, you know,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: first of all, when I met him, it was cool
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: because you know, he he asked, you know, me to
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: come on, which is different when you asked them when
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: they ask him to come on. That that's the way
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: you want it. Of course, you know, he showed me
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: his whole facility and he's like kicking He's like, you know,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: he's like a great like boxer and kickbox He's like
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: kicking this fucking heavy bag. Like I'm like this guy
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: gonna kick my head off on the show. I'm like,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: this is I'm intimidated, you know. He's like, this is
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: my cryo chamber. I'm like, are we going to go
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: in it? Or do you want to do pod? Like
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: it was like two hours. I'm like, this is what
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: I kill was the tour, I was like, yeah, I'm
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: a man's man, yeah, which I was like, all right,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: I had like on a flowered shirt. I was like, well,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know, yeah, I'm gay and and and it's interesting,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: you know, I did the show. I did you know,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: you know, to do I did like three and a
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: half hours with him, Like the longest I ever doing
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: a podcast is like an hour, because like what can
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: you even talk about? But for him, it's like he's
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: so good at like just keeping the convo going, like
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: you'll say something and then he's because he's listening. The
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: thing is is like you're very good at it too,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: Like you're just like listening. You're not worried about like
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: what he's going to say, Like he's like I'm just
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: listening to you and then going off you is very natural,
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: very calming. But you know, it's it's weird. It's that
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: you know, by the time I got to do Joe Rogan.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: You know, I had had to get my fans kind
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: of the hard way and kind of get them one
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: by one by one. So I don't know that too
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: many people heard me on Joe Rogan that didn't already
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: kind of make a decision on me whether they liked
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: me or not. Maybe I was able to get some
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: people who didn't initially like me to like me and
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: follow But I didn't notice my followers go up or
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: my ticket numbers. Really, I didn't notice it too much.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: It kind of stayed where it's at because I think that,
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: you know, I was doing all the orbital podcasts, I
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: was doing, doing everything I was doing, So all those
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: people that listened to Rogan, they listen to these other guys,
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: so they heard me on that and by that, you know,
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: it's not like you were like like new to his
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: audience at that point. Yeah. I mean, I'm definitely was
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: new to some people, of course. But also the other
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: thing with Joe is he puts out so much content,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: and I understand why that you get swallowed up very
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: easy in the algorithm. So it's like I was you
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: had an opportunity to listen to my three and a
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: half hours for about two days. Yeah, and then somebody
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: else for a five hour episode came up. So so
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: it's very difficult to listen to it all. I watched
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: the whole thing where I listen to it, and I
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: listened to it. It It was good. Man, there you go.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: It's like like the story about your pops, Like I
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: think he was going to see was it your principal
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: at your school? Yeah? Yeah, that's the thing. If you
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: google Chris to Stefano nine to eleven story, it's like
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: the most viral thing I've ever done. I've did a
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: stand up bit about my time on nine to eleven.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: You can check it out. But it's funny, like people
• 1:10:44
